Inter Milan

Bastos from OL is also in the rumors

I can tell you that United is scouting strootman and they got their share of fans who are hyped about him.
He has potential and has been doing well in the dutch league this season for PSV but I don't know if I believe he will fulfill it. I don't think he will reach the level of Sneijder, Van Der Vaart and the other greats who has come out of Netherlands in the past, but he could be a regular first 11 player no doubt. (Kind a like how Nocerino has been for Milan this season)

Here is a small video of him so that you can get hyped as well ;) (Just remember, those who make youtube videos prefer making good one before actually showing how the player plays consistently)

I don't know much more about Tabanou than he is a french player who has made a couple of matches in for France U21 team. He plays wing and scored a couple of goals in the french league as well.

Strootman to Inter should a really nice move. its time to start signing younger and fresh players, not players that are about to reach their end.

Strootman over gurain and muntari any day

His name has been linked with Inter lately...

No man...He just want to stay to prove something to you....hahaaaaa

Hehe uhm well let's see...How many goals he scored this season? 3? Will he prove me he can even do worse than that?:)

You guys are too harsh on Forlan. He had a bad season that is all. Even Eto'o did not score many goals on his first season with inter. I don't really see why you guys are hating on him so much.He had a couple of assists too.

Forlan was hurt for more than half of the season, the only opportunities he had to prove himself he was playing off of an injury. I say let him stay because he now has time to heal and have a real opportunity

The only reason Eto'o didn't score as much for inter, because he was basically converted to a defensive winger.

@Ayyam: agree

@Juanimus and Gjwaindim: yes, Forlan got injured and this is more likely to happen if players are aged over 31-32. That's the primary reason we shouldn't have signed him in the first place. Now let's focus on what Forlan did when he was fully available: u guys can recall any memorable match played by him? I don't think so.

To me the thing is: Forlan and Zarate got a chance to demonstrate they could play a part in Inter's future and they failed, just look at their figures. And personally I don't think Pazzini is as good as many think either

you have to consider that when he started, he was playing for Ranieri. Ranieri didn't play him in his usual role.

Then he suffered a hamstring tear in October, which is a very difficult injury to come back from within a season. When he came back to play, I say that his fitness was only around 50% of his potential. He only averaged under 45 minutes per appearance in the second half of the season.

All I'm saying is, that I do not believe I have seen what he is fully capable of and he deserves this off season to fully recover. I want to see if he still has it next season after recovering from injury and under Stramaccioni's scheme.
Remember that Milito is also 32 years old, and he came back from injury to become our leading scorer this season..plus, Forlan has a great reputation in the Europa league

I thought his contract with Inter ends this summer, anyway.

He scored yesterday for Espanyol :D

and it was an amazing goal :D

Strama will stay.

Hehe tbh my excitment is lower than yours but anyway hope we'll do great.

Strama will probably stay and as for investments I think that's the year when Moratti really needs to bring in important players. I think 3/4 in the following positions:

1) One central defender reliable and no older than 27
2) Isla
3) One creative striker to flank Milito (my dream is Suarez, bit skeptical about Lavezzi)
4) One attacking prospect (Muriel)

Then I would get rid of all our strikers but Milito

Signing new players in this case is a tough job.Most of them choose their teams based on CL.I hope it won't cause us a problem,especially when we want to sign players with good prospect like Lavezzi and etc...

how about destro?

@VanDerAraf: how about Mateo Musacchio for the Cb position. and maybe get destro :P

@SKool: Uhm I don't really know Musacchio, guess because I don't follow soccer as I was used to some years ago. Destro is another good prospect but I think Inter sold both halves correct?

@VanDerAraf: Musacchio is a good young CB. 22 years old, and available for cheap since Villarreal relegated. I pretty much like him tbh. but again he was lots of years left to improve. wouldn't mind if he comes in for the older CB's and play alongside andrea ranocchia

A young CB would be much needed at Inter IMHO, I am pretty sure we had one of the most beaten defenses of Serie A which is not normal for Inter. I am so thankful to Lucio but I don't think he can still play at his best, and Samuel will have to rest up sometimes. Thanks for ur info will check something about him!
